Other than some irrelevant infectious organisms that tend to tag team with tumors, I would guess that if you have removed the tumor(s) and identified them and are confident they are gone, then you should be pleased. Some people need several days of bed rest if the tumors are particularly nasty, others not long at all
A biopsy is not necessarily the entire tumor:
biopsy/bäps/ noun an examination of tissue removed from a living body to discover the presence, cause, or extent of a disease.
To state it differently, a small chunk of the tumor can be removed and then examined to see how best to treat the remainder of the tumor. Taking a biopsy can be done in a much less invasive manner than excising the entire tumor.
One road issue I entered (with a picture) was just ignored until it aged out of the system. They're doing a city wide resurfacing program to address multiple road issues, but it would have been nice to get that response instead of Jack Squat.
I put another request in for tree servicing (as required by law) and nothing happened on it for three months. I finally called the city directly and the issue was taken care of within two days. Again, it would have been nice to be told "hey you need to call so-and-so" instead of having to hunt that down myself, since (I think) they advertised this application as the way to submit issues to them.
Someone has to be monitoring these apps or they are just useless to the citizens. They are, however, useful for a limited time to the City Council since people can vent into the void (the app), but that only works until people realize the app requests are ignored.
"Hi Mr. X, we'd like to pay you 25% more to come work for us if you're a good fit for the team."
I love my job and the people I work with, but if Google called with that offer, I would listen. I would be stupid to not listen and at least give my boss the opportunity to make a counter-offer.
Doesn't matter; if you're not willing to behave as an automaton and judge just the facts rather than the law, you won't get on a jury.
The attitude matters. It's one thing to be called and then not asked to serve. It's another thing entirely to shirk your duty because you think you're "too smart" to be on a jury. The fact that they want a biased, ignorant jury is a different issue.
My coworkers and I attempt to counter balance this by treating jury duty as a civic obligation.
All of the "smart people" that get out of jury duty because they're "smart" can go screw themselves. They're the reason that stupid decisions like this are made and become precedent for other stupid decisions.
Not entirely true. I stream Netflix Watch Instantly selections in Firefox by using the IETab extension (it fools the server into thinking that you're using IE instead of FF). It works in Opera, too. Alas, only on Windows, though, not Linux.
You aren't using firefox to view netflix. IETAB actually runs IE in Firefox, so you're still using IE. Note the lack of Linux support on the IETAB page.
You, sir, just made my day:) I didn't know other people actually remembered Sliders...
I should mention that I've been watching Sliders again on Netflix. Their online viewer is kinda crappy, and it's IE-only, but it has only bluescreened my machine once;)
It looks fine on this. Unfortunately it can't help the writing or the acting in the last season.
Dude, that greeting line is typical for a slashdot user whose user ID is between 10,000 and 50,000 (ask any decent HR department if you don't believe me). Oh good, my UID for my original account's UID is 7577. My current one is 449201. I just missed the danger zone on both ends:) I'm screwed.

It was probably a side effect of the new moderation system. You used to click a "moderate to this" dropdown box and then click "submit" to moderate. With the new comment system it's javascript based so as soon as you select a moderation it is applied. I'm sure I'm not the only person to accidentally moderate a post to the wrong thing.

Installing 25km outdoor wifi links is a different beast from getting wireless working in a home. I've helped set up many in home wireless networks and even helped debug situations like yours. It's not just the AP; the quality of the antenna on the mobile device can have a large effect on the distance it can roam.
You know that the marketing people are going to take numbers from a "straight through the air-gap drywall" test where the line from the AP to the Wireless card is perpendicular to the line of the wall. Realistically speaking when those lines aren't perpendicular the signal has to travel through more material than just the thickness of the wall. Add that to the material that composes the walls of your home and it's a recipe for failure in your house. That doesn't make it bad for everyone, just you in your situation.
If you really want wireless then you're probably going to be better off with one or more APs per floor and then wiring them together. If you're against wiring them you could try using a mesh if you can get line of sight between a couple of them. I'd want at least two access points in a 2000 sq ft house to ensure yard access. I'd probably want three or more in a 4000 sq ft home.
I understand the concept of a crush depth. But the thing that gets crushed is the sub, not the depth. The headline is(was... looks like they fixed it) just miserable. Does no-one proofread any more? They figure, why bother? That's what the spell checker is for.
For the humor impaired: I'm aware a spell checker doesn't validate grammar.
How does a sub dive crush "depths"? Depths can't be crushed, AFAIK. This headline is phenomenally confusing. I agree that the language used in the headline sucks.. but just in case you were serious:
The "Crush Depth" of a submarine is the depth at which it is crushed by the pressure.
Thus the headline translates to: New Sub Dives Deeper than other subs without being crushed
I pay 40$ a month for "high speed" internet and my upload to youtube is going at 9kb a second.
'nough said. The "high speed" $40/mo plans I'm aware of are "high speed" in one direction only: from the 'net to your computer. Unless you pay extra your upstream is throttled as low as 9% of your downstream. It sounds like you have a ??? down/128 up plan which means that you can download pretty fast but your upstream is only theoretically ~2.5x faster than dial-up. Your upload is only going at 9K/sec because your provider wants you to be a consumer of content, not a producer. Increasing backbone capacity isn't going to help you unless your provider graciously (from their point of view) decides to increase your upstream bandwidth.
Anyone with an elementary school education, including executives:), should know the difference between "file" the noun, and "file" the verb. You're asking people that incentivise their human resources to synergise solution production to remember elementary school grammar.;) Yes, I know the difference, I was simply trying to show how a coach could reason their way to using certain terms that we find ridiculous. Being able to reason that way can help when I'm trying to figure out what someone who isn't familiar with the "proper" terminology is saying.
In this case I doubt the advisor/coach is dumbing-down the language for the sake of the executives. On the bright side at least there is no confusion about "folder". I can see it now: "But.. but.. it doesn't fold."
From experience, most executive-types I know that tee-off at 2:30 have at least 1 human-email filter, and don't have to worry about email addiction. Heh, I was attempting humor there. Oh well, I obviously failed that time.
Idiotic "executive coaches" should learn the difference between a file and a folder before advising and devising programs.
If you are in the "executive" category, the only step you need is:
1. Hire human(s)-email filter/secretary. Don't hire consultants. It's more than likely someone trying to use terminology the executives will understand.
If you look around in meatspace you may see these (usually metal) cabinets with drawers in them that some people call filing cabinets. The folders and records in those are probably referred to collectively as files. So from the perspective of the executive creating a file for the emails makes sense. It's probably faster for the consultant to use that term rather than try to explain the concept of folders to a bunch of guys who don't have time for that nonsense because there's a tee-off at 2:30.
there's an option on most routers...it's called "restore factory defaults"...enabling it will put you right back to square one, the default password. Pardon me if I missed the obvious but how are they going to "restore the factory defaults" from software? You do realize the current password is needed to get at that interface, right?
FYI: The safety pin they mentioned is to enable them to get access to the hardware "reset to factory" button.

But if you have already removed the tumor and put its cells under the microscope, does it really matter which is which?
Yes. They have not necessarily removed the entire tumor. This could be useful in examining a biopsy to see how to treat what's left.
Raleigh, NC, uses SeeClickFix, supposedly.

You're allowed to spend a gallon per passenger for every 200 miles traveled. So if you have 10 passengers you can spend 10 gallons to go 200 miles.
10(passengers)*200(miles)/10(gallons)=200 Passenger Miles/Gallon.
10(passengers)*400(miles)/20(gallons)=200 Passenger Miles/Gallon.
And so on.
